I. 1%,, W M U, 1m, lefllll It. @314, ll! love-bar O, 1.25. Applicationfor This 'uvention relates to a washing device or mineonnecticn withmachines,

and his tor object to mvide, in I mnor as hcreinafier set orth, a deviceof Y the class returned to for cleaning the leadundbitcupsofamilkimgmachimtukeep them and in sanitary condition. Furtherobjects of the imsention are to provifi, in [manner as hereinaftersetfurth, v aufiing device for the purpose referred to simple in itscondiructinn and arstrong, durable, compact, thory wad convenient an itsuse,

.uunprltively inexpensive to mnmifac- -Wiflr'the finneguing and otherobjects in M view, the invention. consists of a novel ah'imliunomination and arrangement of parts as hezeimaiher 1mm specificallydescribed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shownan embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes,variations and modifications can be resorted to which fall within thescope of the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote correspondingparts throughout the several views:

Figure 1. is a top plan view of a washing device in accordance with thisinvention.

Figure 2 is a section on line 2-2, Figure 1.

Figure 3 is an inverted plan view of the device.

Referring to the drawings in detail, a washing device in accordance withthis invention, comprises a receptacle which is referred to generally bythe reference character 1 and which constitutes a. water container. Thereceptacle 1 consists of a body portion formed of an upper annularsection 2, and a lower flaring section 3. The top of the section 3 isprovided with a laterally extendin annular flange 4v which is angleshape in cross section and provides a seat for the bottom of the section2, as well as overlaps the periphery of the section 2 at the bottom. Thesection 2 and flange 4 are suitably secured together. The lower end ofthe section 3 is formed with a laterally ex- 1 tending annular flange 5and abutting thereagainst, as well as overlapping said flange 5 is acircular plate 6, which forms the bottom of the receptacle 1. Thatportion of means.

the plate 6 which-overlaps the flange 5 is indicated :at 7. The flange 5and the plate =6 can be secured together by any suitabte Secured b0 and"extending within the section 2 0} time receptacle 1, at the to bheneui,as well as depending within vsai. motion, is a top member 8, which is inthe form of an annulus and which prevents sptashmg when wateris'supplied to the receptacle 1. The upper section 2 oil? the meeeptacle l, is providedwith a pair'oi diamem'ically opposed handlemembers'Q.

I The plate 6,'which provides the bottom ed the receptacle 1, is formedwith a series of spaced openings 10 and the material surmuudmg eachopen'm is ofiset mat 1110 provide :a flaming a: and into each of saidcollars is extended the upper end of a tapered coupling tube 12, whichis employed for connecting the iced or a tit cup to the receptacle 1 andas flilfl'lliizfid; in Figure 2, the tubes 12 have leads 13 connectedtherewith and said leads are in the form of rubber tubes that extendfrom the tit cups to the'pulsator. Each of the tubes 12 is secured atits upper end by any suitable means to the plate 6.

When the device is used, the end of each lead that is disconnected fromthe pail or pulsator is placed u on one of the tubes 12. Water is thensupp ied to the receptacle 1 and flows through the lead and tit cup anddischarged at any desired point. This affords a very convenient,practical and sanitary way of cleaning the leads and keeping them fresh.I

It is thought that the many advantages of a washing device, inaccordance with this invention, and for the urpose referred to, can befully understood and although the preferred embodiment of the inventionis as illustrated and described, yet it is to be understood that changesin the detail of construction can be had which will fall within thescope of the invention as claimed.

What I claim is:

1. A washing device for the purpose set forth, comprising a containeradapted to have water supplied thereto and further having its bottomformed with a plurality of openings, and a tapered tube secured in andextending from each of saidopenings and adapted to have detachablymounted thereon the lead of a milking machine for the purpose ofthe leadon the supply of watertothe container. 7 v 3 2. A washing device for thepurpose set forth, compris' a container adapted to have water suppliedthereto and consisting .7

of a body portion having the lower part thereof flaring, said bodyportion further having its bottom formed with a plurality ofopenings,andm coupling tube having its upper end secured in each of saidopenings, said tubes depending from said openings and each adapted tohavedetachably connected thereon a lead of a milking machine for thepurpose of cleaning said lead when water is supplied to the container.

3. A washing device for the purpose set forth, comprising a containeradapted to have water supplied thereto and consisting of-ahody'portionhaving the lower part thereof \flaning; said body portionfurther having its bottomformed-with a plurality of openings, 9,coupling tube having its upper end secured in' each ot-said openings,said tubes.--depending from said openings and each adapted to havedetachably connectedthereon a lead of'a milking-machine for the purposeof-cleaning-said lead when water'is' supplied to; the container, and atop member mounted on and depending into sa d body portion and formed ofan annulus providing means the water is suppli to edprevent splashingwhen p to the container;

4. A- milking machine flushing device, com rising a container for thereception of liquld, the bottom of the container being 35 provided witha plurality of openings, an tubes secured to the bottom portion andregistering with said openings and extending downwardly therefrom andadapted to have detachably connected thereto the leads of a milkingmachine for the purpose of cleaning the leads through the passage ofliquid from the container.

5;=A washing device for the purpose set forth, comprising a containeradapted to have watersupplied thereto and consisting of a body portionhaving the lower portion thereof downwardly and inwardly tapered, aninwardly and downwardly tapered top member mounted on and depending into50 7 said body portion and having an opening therein, said body portionhaving its bottom formed with a plurality of openings,

and coupling tubes depending from said bottom andin register with saidopenings, said tubes being adapted to have detachably connected theretothe leads of a mi machine for the purpose of cleaning sai leads whenwater is supplied to the container;
